Please I will like to get added to a WhatsApp group for pre-ITA if any. Thanks a lot

Hello all, pls I am searching for anyone that completed their ACCA after moving to Canada and stay in Winnipeg. Yeah, I know it might be difficult seeing as the only ACCA recognized tutorial centre I saw online is in Toronto and not much info on doing ACCA in Canada on the web, however I know it is doable and I will really appreciate practical tips. Even if you started ACCA here, maybe as a path to CPA and stay in Winnipeg, please I need your guidance, kindly PM me.

Thanks a lot.

I and my family just landed in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I will appreciate a WhatsApp link to any "Nigerians in Winnipeg/Manitoba" group to get province specific information.

Thank you.

Please I am interested in this group. Thanks

einsteino:
For Engineering professionals in Canada, you may wish to join the Nigerian Engineers in Canada group. It is a place where Nigerian Engineering professionals rub minds about their existing career or plans to restart their profession in Canada.

If interested, kindly indicate. Thanks

Please I am still hoping for responses. Thank you

Please does anyone know if there is an ACCA tuition centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba or anyone with an idea or advice on how one can study for the SBR, SBL and Ps to complete the ACCA program. Self study seems like an uphill task. Kindly assist[/quote]

December AOR WhatsApp group.

https://chat(.)whatsapp(.)com/FlaZupInArOGlkbtjhtseU.

Please remove the bracket.

Please can I get the email address to send these documents to? I sent you a PM yesterday, I haven't gotten a response. Thanks.

NanaF:
Qlife is now asking to send ITA to an email address together with copy of bio data page. So they no longer asking for medical form. Hopefully we get dates that fall within the submission time frame.

Happy New year to everyone.

Please can everyone help with the current amount for processing fees and Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) that will need to be paid at the point of submission for adult and children.

I will also appreciate the link to the WhatsApp group for December 2018 ITA recipients.

Thanks a lot

Thanks a lot, I will sure add the other proofs of employment.

flosk:
It is not necessary to include your bank statement since the pof is not there. However, you might want to add additional proof of employment to the payslip such as

Job offer letter
Company ID card

Etc.

Good morning and compliments of the season to everyone. Team 444 and our group leader @wassey (not sure about the complete name), congratulations!!! God gave us the best testimony to end the year.

Please do I need to include my bank statement if I am using mutual funds as POF and payslips as proof of employment? Thanks

I am so so happy for you. I have imagined this for myself in my head a million times and I never even get ITA. Lol.

May the land of Canada favour you and yours. Amen

[ quote author=Newmum0615 post=73429908]Finally dropped my resignation letter this morning. Whew! Mixed emotions.

Canada is calling my name. Speak Trudeau, your subject is listening.[/quote]

I'll also advise you to send a mail to the UK office, asking them of the status of your remark. They directed me back to the lagos office but then the Nigerian office will be conscious of the fact that you are tracking the remark. Check Google for the UK customer center mail. All the best.

mojohnny:
No his 6.5 remained unchanged!
���

Amen!!!

wasseynewest:
Lols.......Don't worry dear, the next draw shall "most definitely " favour us and even CRS below. It is our turn to rejoice on this platform.

From personal experience, the longer it takes, the more likely that it was actually sent to the UK. Was your friend's remark positive? Mine took 6 weeks and my writing was upgraded to 7 from 6.5.

Meanwhile team 444, are u sure we wnt locate one ori-oke and stay interceeding for the next two weeks?

mojohnny:
This is to give an idea of the current timeline with British Council.
My friend and I both put in for EORs on the 12th of November. He selected only writing for re-mark while I selected speaking and reading. We both got emails on the 19th that the EOR had been sent to the UK team and we should expect a response from 2-4 weeks from the 19th of November.
He got an email on the 24th that his EOR was ready while I am yet to get any subsequent information from them since then. I guess because I requested for more modules to be re-marked mine is taking longer.

Anxiety wants to finish me.

@Madekay, please I sent you a PM. Thanks.

Madekay:
Hi Everyone,
As I prepare for ITA on the 5the of Sept
What’s the processing time for PNP applicants in CIC stage as I recieved nomination from Manitoba

I booked for medicals in Qlife for Sept 14 as that’s the next available date

Am waiting for ITA before PCC as I have FBI police clearance and Uk police clearance

Most of my documents were written to Manitoba do I have to get new docs addressed to CIC or submit the Manitoba own like that?


Thanks in advance

Do we have to register for this or how can I be a part of the next session pls?

diamondextra:
Hello guys, i attended the planning for canada session yesterday and it was truly a mindblowing experience. It was so impactful and very very very enlightening. I would encourage those who havn't attended to make out time to. You would not regret it at all

I read every single word you wrote, I didn't type the prayers but I was always praying for you.

Gosh, I'm happy like I know you personally. May Canada favour you and yours. Go and prosper in Jesus name. Amen

[qquote author=Newmum0615 post=69897379]Can everyone take a seat please? It’s going to be quite a read.

It’s my turn.

PPR has come to the glory of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost.


It has been a lonnnnng but rewarding experience here on this thread and in this EE journey. I have learnt a lot through months of research and waiting. If you had told me anything about relocating from Nigeria before the second week of August 2017, I would have rolled my eyes at you in apparent indifference. I was never one for living abroad. I love visiting on vacations, buying plenty stuff and coming back home. However, one day at the end of the 2nd week of August 2017, I was in the car with my husband, on our way to work and I remember vividly how I stumbled on Testden while browsing through the internet that morning. I decided to read a little and I just became fascinated with the practice texts and solving the questions. A colleague of mine who moved to Australia last year had been harping on about migrating, but I had no such plans. Hubby and I are doing quite well here, and I am also so close to my parents that the thought of staying so far away from them kept me from taking the leap.

Initially, practicing the IELTS questions was just for fun but I had a light bulb moment one day while still recovering from a surgery that almost cost me my life in a Nigerian hospital. A supposedly ‘big’ hospital. Why not take the test and work towards getting outta here? I asked myself. Hubby didn't agree at first. He is a believer now.

So voila! My first connection to anything Canadian was the IELTS test discovery via Testden. During my recuperation period, I decided that I needed a better life not just for myself but also for my kids. I considered Australia, but there is a disconnect between my first degree and work experience so I didn’t stand a chance. Canada was next on my list. I went on to research on the internet; CIC site and Nairaland popped up first among others. I have always engaged Nairaland as my go-to place for 1st hand practical experience on just about anything. It really needs to be rated among the top internet search engines in the world. We are great like that!

So, lemme not bore you with my long story joor.

Here is my timeline:

Decision to immigrate: 2nd week of August 2017.

WES evaluation received: 15th November 2017

IELTS: L8.5 R9 S7.5 W7.5

Hubby: Did very well. Maxed out on scores.

EE profile created: 1st December 2017

ITA: 6th December 2017

AOR: 1st February 2018

NA1: 2nd February 2018

Medicals passed/IP1: 12th February 2018

NA2: 16th February 2018

IP2: 27th February 2018 (the mass movement)

1st GCMS notes (ordered via gcmsbuddy.com): April, 2018 Received in less than 2 weeks

2nd GCMS notes (ordered via gcmsbuddy.com): June, 2018 Received one month later

ADR: 2 days ago. Day 179. Height & Color info + Copies of passport biodata pages (as if I didn’t provide it before)

PPR Mail: 1st August 2018. Received around past noon today. I was actually speaking in faith this morning when I was teasing y'all about having correct news . I just had the feeling.

VO: Almighty London

AOR to PPR: A whooping 181 days!

Other details:

POF: I used 3 T-bills certificates, account statement and other sources of funds. Reference letter from bank and letter from hubby giving consent to use his own portion of the funds. Used affidavit and LOE to explain huge inflows from hubby cos they were quite significant (upfront allowance from his employer). I had almost 3 times the amount needed for a family of three, so I had to exclude other sources of funds so that I don’t complicate things with a bulky upload and overwhelm the VO.

Whew! It was a battle getting that file to compress. After a 6-hour battle on submission day, I was finally able to compress it to 3.7mb. Made a mistake on the LOE in calculating total amount, was about to upload the whole file in the POF placeholder when I got a call from hubby that he had observed a mistake from his review. Had to abort mission ( ), correct it, rescan before remerging and uploading.

Employment: Got letter from my previous employer (didn’t use it in the end cos I couldn’t decide on the right NOC for it), added role in personal history. Used the one from my current employer, LOE explaining NOC change, work mails, Tax card, Staff ID card, my call card and that of my line manager. No payslips or SOA. Although I got maximum score for my previous role with current employer, I also declared my one and half year current role, same employer under my work history cos both roles showed on the same reference letter anyway, and so I had to upload the same doc again for this current role (Thanks happytbaby for calling my mind to this one. I might have missed it). Hmm, was so scared throughout the process cos I had used a different job title and NOC before ITA, but apparently, it wasn’t a biggie (thanks to @cochtrane, @einsteino, @happytbaby & @Blackbuddy for allaying my fears on this).

Education: IELTS TRF, ECA report, Degree certificates. ECA process was pretty straightforward, Naija Uni represented well. UK school, of course didn’t disappoint.

Hubby’s Education: No ECA done for either degree.

Medicals: Done at Q-Life a day before I submitted (I no dey plan travel soon, so had to shift it as far away as possible). Very seamless process.

Photos: Studio 24. The hard copies we did have expired in the wake of this delay. We have to retake them.

Legal document for name change: Submitted one & the same person affidavit for hubby.

LOE: Submitted Schedule A, old UK Visa refusal notes for hubby and 1, Travel History form, affidavit for one & the same person for hubby and his birth certificate (for different names on his docs).

CSE: I noticed that I had mistakenly swapped documents in the wrong placeholders. Raised CSE and notified them of the error.

GCMS Notes: 1st & 2nd were fine. No issues.

So, as I drop my pen, abi fingers (), let me acknowledge and thank everyone for the great job we are all doing here. You guys are amaaaaazing! Agents and consultants are seriously learning compared to us.

As I say thank you to each and every one, lemme send a special shout out to people who were and have been consistent in making this thread a success: @40manlappy (you no answer some of my PMs in the early days of my membership here sha, I still dey beef you-smiley), @Kontagious, @happytbaby (God bless you plenty), @Glitteringstar, our able landlady and data analyst, @cochtrane, @einsteino, @Blackbuddy, @mcstan18 (you snuck up on us and became a formidable “elder” smiley), @Hephgirl (I miss you in our midst.), @Elfmannisback (thank you for being our police here), @ysteph, @Ethelia, @luffyhaki, @Tojued, @ArabianRose @TEECANN, @Threemg, @vcole @smslive2 @agates @ jholarharde and many many others I can’t name here. Una too plenty ooooo. Thank you for all the love and support. You guys made the wait easy to bear.

I kept trusting God and believing that my turn will come one day. Months back, I wrote my goods-to-follow list, made a list of all that we were going to sell off. I even decided on the school my son will go to if we were ever able to get a house within the boundary of the school board. I have researched and researched, now it feels like I already live in Canada (except for the cold. ). I appreciate the Planning for Canada session I was privileged to attend. It’s a pity that the opportunity may end soon. It really helped with my planning.

I appreciate you all for all the times you wished that this day would come sooner. Every time I saw a post praying for my PPR, I would pray and ask God to answer the prayer. May God Almighty, the One who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we can ever think, ask or even imagine make our ways prosperous and grant us all fulfilled lives in Canada.

We shall meet in Canada one day. One day soon.

Excuse my dramatic post. I wasn’t going to type all these, but you guys have waited for this day, so I didn’t want to fall hand. It has been one hell of a wait. I was expecting serious excitement the day this PPR would come, but I am not as excited as I thought I would be. It’s even surprising to me. I think I am even a little afraid, but God has got me. We will all flourish in Canada. It's a must!

PS: To all our newbies, please take time out to read and understand this process. When you take offense at people who ask you to read more, it gives the impression that people that did exactly that are foolish. Imagine that no one took out time to study the process, who would you have confidence to ask for guidance? Please read, read and read. It can be overwhelming, I know, but the benefits surmount every stress you might encounter in figuring where and how to start. To access even the most basic of services in our Maple Leaf country, you would need to read and understand your rights and entitlements as a PR, T&Cs of certain services and all. Why not start now and imbibe that behavior?

…Off to continue dancing! See you guys lerra.[/quote]

This was what I did initially and until the time of responding to this message, I haven't gotten a response from them. I'll look for a number and call them, if you have one I can call, kindly help me with it. Thanks
[+quote author=flosk post=68249641]

Go to their 'contact us' page fill a Request for what you want, you can also call them and they will let you know if they had seen your earlier mail sent to them.[/quote]

Please I need your help. I had already started my certificate verification with WES before I realized ACCA diploma could help my points, infact WES has already sent the verification letter to my school already. Please how do i get them to verify my ACCA diploma also?

I have sent them a mail for over one week now asking how I can include my ACCA diploma certificate for verification but no response. I'll appreciate your advice. Thanks a lot.

Congratulations!!!

My God is a good God....... Yes, He is......

Woke up to my golden mail

AOR: May 7th



PPR: June 5th



Coming back to write my epistle......

I can't contain myself.

Thank you. I could then attach my marriage certificate and change of name documents when creating my EE profile, this should fix it right?

ArcUgo:
As long as you opened your WES account with your married name then you don't have anything to worry about. However, please note that they will mention the difference in names in your credentials and your WES account. This is what you will see "The names on one or more of the academic credentials submitted for evaluation differ from the name indicated above".

Thanks a lot.

Dazzlinganio:
Just send them an email using the Contact us, explaining exactly what you just said that you want them to do. Remember in filling the form you used your married name just as it appears on your passport so you don’t need to worry.

Lol, I did look, even used the Google search option.

Newmum0615:
Mummy mummy, you looked through the thread and didn't see the answer to this frequently asked question.

Issorai o.

You have gotten answers sha.

Yes as I intend to change what I currently have to one with my married name before creating my profile.

Sthill5:
Is your married name on your international passport?
